The deafening high pitched whine coming from primarily old rural white men has reached a crescendo if we are lucky. From shady funded secession drives to ironic claims of voter fraud, the losers of this election including their standard bearer Mitt Romney will simply not handle losing with any degree of grace whatsoever. Should we just ignore all the noise or keep spotlighting it and shame them into silence? Do these whiners even have any shame? The fall of their discontent is going to be hard on all of our ears.
If you think that half the country is going to let Obama off the hook just because the other half voted for him, you've got a rude awakening. Conservatives don't like his socialist policies, radical connections, liberal agenda, inability to boost the economy, etc., etc., etc. For good reason, conservatives have hammered him the previous four years and I have a feeling the next four aren't going to be any better for him. He hasn't learned that he's president of ALL the people, not just the 51% who voted for him.
Again, your simple-minded take belies your lack of real knowledge. 51% of the country did not vote for Obama nor did 49% of the country vote against him. That is a foolish divisive meme that you tell yourself. The truth is that only 27.5% of he country voted against Obama or for Romney depending how you want to look at it. The rest of the country either voted for Obama or against Romney or didn't bother to vote at all. In this country, we have an election and then have enough faith in he democratic process to respect the outcome. Your sour grapes and sore loser attitude are really an indictment of the American system of democracy and pathetic besides. Nobody likes a sore loser in any arena. You and your ilk are not only working against an elected president, you are lowering the bar for future generations. You damage this country while pretending to care about it. That is the saddest aspect of your phony rants. You are oblivious to the harm you yourselves are inflicting.
Wikipedia says the President got 63,470,174 votes and Google says the US population is 311,591,917. That means only 20.3% of Americans voted for the President...which, of course, means 79.6% of Americans did not vote for him. That's a big pool to get whiners from! lol
The entire US population Stu? Sorry, you still have to be 18 to vote although some of those whiny Republicans sound pretty adolescent. Try again Stu... There are 207,643,594 eligible voters in the U.S. 57.5% of them voted in the 2012 election.
Here is a typical angry old white guy with misdirected hate for the Federal Government... He is typical of the crazy secessionists. SECESSION NOV 15, 2012 Guy Who Started Alabama’s Secession Petition Mostly Just Wants His Topless Car Wash Back By Neetzan Zimmerman As the number of "We the People" secession petition signatures continues to climb, the question inevitably must be asked: Who are these people, and why are they so anxious to secede? WKRG-TV did some legwork and found the man responsible for one of the more successful secession petitions — the one asking for a peaceful grant of withdrawal on behalf of Alabama. Started by the aptly named Derrick Belcher, a 45-year-old trucking company manager from Chunchula, the petition has already crossed the 25,000-signature threshold required to receive a response from the government. So, who is Belcher? And why is he so mad he'd sooner sever all ties with the United States than live another day in the shadow of Old Glory? From AL.com: "I'm working poor. And I work -– I've never taken a dime from the government. I'll starve before I take a handout. That's what being a true American is all about." Belcher blamed the government for shutting down his former business. Belcher said his Euro Details car wash, which featured topless women, was successful for a decade on Halls Mill Road in Mobile. But he said he was arrested and charged with obscenity by city officials in 2001. "The government ripped my business away, and now they're choking America to death with rules and regulations," he said. The problem for Belcher is that it was the city that decided to close his business, not the Federal Government. So much for the State's rights argument.
You should be more inclusive and stop alienating the young people. Besides, you know as well as i do that, if things go in the crapper, 80% of the people in the country will say (and can say)..."At least I didn't vote for that guy!" no matter what their age.
That's why I keep saying that I didn't vote for Bush, either of them. But the people who did vote for Bush(s) keep trying to tell me that the guy I voted for this time is wrong. Shouldn't I be telling them who to vote for given my track record and theirs? Hum?
George Will predicts 321-217 Romney landslide. Also congress 9% approval rating. Republicans also got to redistrict this year. 'Nough said!
Last week I took a glance at all the petitions to Obama for this year. People in just about every State in the Union have petitions to secede, some have more than one. Some cities want to secede from their State, notably in Texas. At least one city was smart enough to include the idea that, while they want to secede from their State, they want to remain in the Union.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz... Man that sounds like Skeeter! So you're saying that most Republicans are going to continue being morons for the next four years? That's great for the country now isn't it? Seems some are turning. You know toward a more centrist level that may actually help the country as opposed to "Skeeter like" ramblings that accomplish absolutely nothing other than showcasing how far right and idiotic the Republican party has become. If President Obama hasn't figured out that he's President of ALL the people I'm that much more glad that Romney didn't win. Remember what Ann Romney said in her "Stop it!" dialogue before the election? "When Mitt runs the country". I sure took note of it. I thought Presidents governed countries.
